And
she said, I will surely go with thee, but thy honour shall not be in the way that thou goest; for the LORD shall sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose and went with Barak to Kedesh.
10
And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh, and he went up with ten thousand men on foot, and Deborah went up with him.
11
Now Heber, the Kenite, of the sons of Hobab, the father-in-law of Moses, had severed himself from the Kenites and pitched his tent unto the plain of Zaanaim, which
is by Kedesh.
12
And the news came unto Sisera that Barak, the son of Abinoam, was gone up to Mount Tabor.
13
And Sisera gathered together all his chariots,
even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people that
were with him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles unto the river of Kishon.
14
Then Deborah said unto Barak, Rise up, for this
is the day in which the LORD has delivered Sisera into thy hands. Is not the LORD gone out before thee? So Barak went down from Mount Tabor and ten thousand men after him.
15
And the LORD broke Sisera and all
his chariots and all
his host with the edge of the sword before Barak so that Sisera lighted down off
his chariot and fled away on foot.
16
But Barak pursued after the chariots and after the host unto Harosheth of the Gentiles, and all the camp of Sisera fell by the edge of the sword,
and there was not a man left.
17
And Sisera fled on foot to the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, for
there was peace between Jabin, the king of Hazor, and the house of Heber the Kenite.
18
And Jael went out to meet Sisera and said unto him, Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not. And when he had turned in unto her into the tent, she covered him with a thick coverlet.
19
And he said unto her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water to drink, for I am thirsty. And she opened a bottle of milk and gave him to drink and covered him again.
